Zakay Law Group and JCL Law Firm Sue Headway for Overtime Violations in California

Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Headway

On October 27, 2025, the San Diego-based labor law firms, Zakay Law Group, APLC and JCL Law Firm, APC, announced the filing of a class action lawsuit against Therapymatch, Inc., commonly known as Headway. This legal action, designated as Case No. 25CU053855C, has been lodged in the San Diego County Superior Court and centers around the alleged failure of the company to properly compensate its employees for all hours worked, particularly regarding overtime wages.

The complaint draws on several sections of the California Labor Code, accusing Headway of numerous violations including; inadequate payment of minimum and overtime wages, failure to provide mandatory meal and rest breaks, and the lack of accurate itemized wage statements for employees. These transgressions are cited under California Labor Code Sections §§ 201, 202, 203, 204, 210, 226, 226.7, 510, 512, 558, 1194, 1197, 1197.1, 1198, and 2802.

According to the lawsuit documentation, Headway purportedly neglected to pay its employees their legally mandated minimum wages. Furthermore, the firm is accused of not providing compensation for overtime work, which is a significant breach of labor laws designed to protect worker rights.

A critical aspect of the allegations lies in California Labor Code Section 226, which outlines the necessity for employers to furnish employees with a detailed and accurate itemized wage statement. Such a statement must include crucial information such as gross wages, total hours worked, deductions, net wages, and the corresponding hourly rates applicable during the pay period. The lawsuit claims that Headway failed to meet these requirements, leading to increased scrutiny of their payroll practices.
